STARTECH 6ft White CAT8 Ethernet Cable Snagless RJ45

SKU CH-C871-0GPGJ

White 6 ft CAT8 patch cord rated for 25 Gbps and 40 Gbps at 2000 MHz with S/FTP shielding, 26 AWG bare copper, snagless RJ45 plugs, 100 W PoE++ support and Fluke channel testing

  • Supports 25 Gbps and 40 Gbps speeds with 2000 MHz bandwidth
  • Delivers up to 100 W PoE++ for high-power devices
  • 26 AWG pure bare copper conductors ensure reliable signal integrity
  • S/FTP shielding with aluminum Mylar tape reduces crosstalk and interference
  • LSZH jacket and snagless RJ45 connectors provide safety and easy installation

6ft White CAT8 Patch Cable

This six-foot white CAT8 patch cable is built for network links that demand 25 Gbps or 40 Gbps throughput at 2000 MHz bandwidth. It suits data-centre racks, high-density switches and workstation uplinks where shielded cabling is mandatory. The LSZH jacket meets low-smoke requirements for plenum and riser spaces. Home users with only gigabit gear will not benefit from the extra headroom.

25G/40G 2000 MHz Shielded Performance

The single specification that decides fit is the certified 25G/40G rate at 2000 MHz over S/FTP construction with 26 AWG bare copper conductors. Aluminium Mylar tape and overall braid suppress alien crosstalk in dense bundles. Fluke channel testing confirms each assembly meets the CAT8 channel limit. Installations that terminate on 10GBASE-T or slower ports cannot use the full bandwidth.

Snagless RJ45 Strain Relief Install

Snagless boots protect the locking tabs during routing through cable managers and patch panels. Moulded strain reliefs absorb bend stress at the connector junction, reducing intermittent faults from vibration. The 26 AWG stranded core remains flexible for tight cable trays but requires careful untwisting to maintain pair geometry. Over-bending past the minimum radius degrades the 2000 MHz margin.

Questions about this item

Will the 25G or 40G rating actually show up on my router?

The cable is built to the CAT8 specification with 2000MHz bandwidth, so it can carry 25G or 40G signals when both ends and the switch ports also support those speeds.

What does the S/FTP shielding and 2000MHz rating mean for my network?

S/FTP shielding wraps each pair and the whole bundle, and the 2000MHz rating meets the CAT8 channel requirement, keeping crosstalk low enough for 25G or 40G links.

Does the 26AWG bare copper construction make the cable too stiff to route behind a desk?

26AWG pure bare copper with LSZH jacket stays flexible for tight bends while the snagless boots and strain reliefs protect the RJ45 tabs during installation.
